Spider-Man 3 Cast Troll Marvel Fans With Two Title Reveals

UPDATE: Since publication, Zendaya has also released a different title.

The cast of Spider-Man 3 is trolling the public over the movie’s real title. Production for the Marvel Studios and Sony collaboration project has been in full swing for a while now. Given this, it’s expected that pertinent details about it will be released sooner rather than later, including the confirmation of the movie’s official title. This seemingly gave Tom Holland and the rest of his co-stars a fun idea to confuse fans by announcing different, more likely fake ones for the movie.

There’s a clear running theme for the web-slinging hero’s standalone film titles. Holland’s first solo adventure was called Spider-Man: Homecoming, which admittedly sounded too cheesy as it was a meta-reference to the character finally joining the MCU after years of existing separately in Sony’s bubble. But over time, people eventually accepted it. This was followed by Spider-Man: Far From Home, which was appropriate considering that the sequel saw Peter Parker and his high school class taking a trip to Europe on the heels of the events of Avengers: Endgame. Given all this, there’s an expectation that Spider-Man 3 will stick to the tradition.

Holland and his castmates know this, so when they decided to have some fun with their fake title reveals for Spider-Man 3, they incorporated the word “home” in their chosen titles. Aside from the project’s lead actor, Jacob Batalon also announced that the threequel is called Spider-Man: Phone Home and Spider-Man: Home-Wrecker, respectively. Check out their posts below:

Chances are that these are fake. While the Spider-Man MCU franchise isn’t exactly known for having creative titles, these aren’t objectively good. At least Spider-Man 3‘s predecessors were at least fit well with their corresponding movies’ narrative. These are too different from each other that it’s difficult to reconcile them with what’s known about the story for the upcoming blockbuster. In any case, expect that the official one will be confirmed sometime soon. The release of the images is an indication that Marvel Studios and Sony are gearing up to reveal pertinent details about the threequel, including its title.

Marvel Studios has been creative with their marketing ploy for their films, but this is the first time that they went this route. While this might look like just straight-up trolling from Holland and Batalon, it could also be a clue for what to expect from Spider-Man 3. If anything, this move from the actors had a green light from both Marvel Studios and Sony and is part of their promotional campaign for the feature. Perhaps the difference in titles, albeit them being fake, hints of the multiverse which is rumored to be a significant part of the blockbuster’s story.
